fuel tank.

NOTE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol
blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are
some issues worth noting:
–– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water
than gasoline alone.
–– These blends can eventually separate, leaving
water or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and
carburetor.
–– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised
fuel can be drawn into the carburetor and cause
damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.
–– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer
that are formulated to work with ethanol blend
fuels.
–– Any damages or hazards caused by using
improper fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/
or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not
covered by manufacture’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply,
run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank
when the equipment is not in use for more than 30
days.

 Champion Power Equipment, Inc (CPE),
Emission Control System Warranty

Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with Environment Canada (EC) emission
regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:

CPE is pleased to explain the Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2013 small off-road engine.
New engines must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet EC regulations for small
non-road engines. CPE must warrant the emission control system on your small off-road engine for the
period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or
improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition
system, catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road
engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during
the warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the
part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance
listed in your Owner’s Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance
on your small off-road engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your
failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you
warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet, CPE
dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, CA., USA as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be
completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System Warranty
Coverage.

Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty):

1. APPLICABILITY: The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is
delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE

CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent
purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is:
a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with applicable regulations
under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be
identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for
certification for a period of two years.

3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS

FOLLOWS:

a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the
Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS
Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such
part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS
Warranty Period.
b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as
specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such
written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty
Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder
of the ECS Warranty Period.
c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be
repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-related part repaired
or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period
prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall
be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a
part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at
a CPE Authorized Service Outlet.
f. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications
proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
g. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-
related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
h. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the
performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the
owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty obligation.
i. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such
use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE
shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a
CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
EMISSION-RELATED PARTS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: (using those portions of the list
applicable to the engine)

Systems covered by this warranty Parts Description

Fuel Metering System Fuel regulator, Carburetor and internal parts
Air Induction System Air cleaner, Intake manifold
Ignition System Spark plug and parts, Magneto ignition system
Exhaust System Exhaust manifold, catalytic converter
Miscellaneous Parts Tubing, Fittings, Seals, Gaskets, and Clamps
associated with these listed systems.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

You must take your CPE engine or the product on which it is installed, along with your warranty
registration card or other proof of original purchase date, at your expense, to any Champion Power
Equipment dealer who is authorized by Champion Power Equipment, Inc. to sell and service that CPE
product during his normal business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused solely by
defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the engine was not properly maintained
and used.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, or to obtain
warranty service, please write or call Customer Service at Champion Power Equipment, Inc.
